DP Gachagua reveals how Raila Odinga wanted to break protocol during Africa Climate Summit (ACS).
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga wanted to join African Presidents at their exclusive lounge during the Africa Climate Summit (ACS),
Speaking on Friday, September 8, in Kericho, Gachagua said the lounge was restricted that even a Cabinet Secretary was not allowed to access it.
“The other day he (Raila) came to KICC, I welcomed him warmly, as you saw with respect because he is our elder. We invited him to come and sit in his designated seat, but he wanted to enter where the elected presidents were seated.
“That place, even CS Kipchumba Murkomen cannot enter. We were asking ourselves, which country was he elected President? Gachagua questioned.
Gachagua however noted that Raila was given a seat in the first row to follow the ACS proceedings.

Gachagua further said he told the former premier during the summit that the Kenya Kwanza government wants to take care of him if he retires from politics.
“I told him on that day that we want to take care of him, look into his retirement, find him a security guard, a car, and a place to stay. If he wants a motorcycle, one or two there is no problem, he goes home and rests,” Gachagua added.
Raila on Tuesday made a surprise visit to KICC where the Africa Climate Summit was being held.
The opposition chief was received by DP Gachagua and then ushered to the KICC conference room where he was shown his seat.
The summit ended on Wednesday, September 6, and was attended by over 30,000 delegates including heads of state and government.
